Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card.

Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this caricature from the prestigious Vanity Fair magazine, published in 1871, the renowned naturalist Charles Darwin is depicted in an awkward and humorous light. Seated in an ornate Victorian chair, Darwin's thin frame is contorted in an uncomfortable posture, with one leg crossed over the other and a castor chair added for support. His thin, expressive hands are clasped in front of him, while his long, bushy beard frames his grinning face. Darwin's famous serious and contemplative demeanor is replaced with a mischievous grin, adding an unexpected element of levity to the image. The cartoonist has captured the historical figure's essence, while also poking fun at his scientific pursuits and the awkwardness of his posture. The setting of the caricature is adorned with scientific instruments and books, emphasizing Darwin's status as a leading scientist of the time. The background is filled with intricate details, from the intricately patterned wallpaper to the ornate molding on the walls. This caricature of Charles Darwin, created in the 1870s, is a testament to the playful and satirical nature of Victorian-era cartoons. It provides a unique perspective on the life and work of one of history's most influential scientific figures, inviting us to appreciate his accomplishments with a smile. The image, which is part of the extensive collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the history of science and the cultural context of the Victorian era. This caricature of Darwin is not only a visual delight but also a reminder of the enduring impact of his groundbreaking theories on the world of science and beyond.
